This document is a Register of Wage Determinations under the Service Contract Act (SCA) for federal contracts in North Carolina Counties of Craven, Jones, and Pamlico, issued by the U.S. Department of Labor Employment Standards Administration Wage and Hour Division. The wage determination, numbered 2015-5781 (Revision 29), became effective on March 30, 2026.

The document provides comprehensive wage rates and fringe benefit requirements for 90+ occupational classifications across multiple service categories including administrative support, automotive service, food preparation, furniture maintenance, general services, health occupations, information technology, instructional services, laundry and pressing, materials handling, mechanics and maintenance, personal needs, plant operations, protective services, recreation, stevedoring, technical occupations, and transportation. All listed occupations require fringe benefits of $5.55 per hour (up to 40 hours weekly) or $222.00 per week ($962.00 monthly), with an alternative rate of $5.09 per hour for SCA-covered contracts also subject to Executive Order 13706. Additionally, all employees receive two weeks paid vacation after one year of service, three weeks after eight years, and four weeks after 20 years, plus a minimum of eleven paid holidays annually. The determination includes special provisions for computer employees (footnote 1), air traffic controllers and weather observers with night and Sunday pay differentials (footnote 2), hazardous pay differentials of 4-8 percent for applicable positions, and uniform allowance provisions. A conformance process using Standard Form 1444 is established for classifying unlisted occupations and determining appropriate wage rates, with the Wage and Hour Division making final determinations.
